The Sunday Times Best Places to Work. Plus FT Award!

This isn't your typical "we're changing the world" startup waffle. These folks are actually doing something interesting – building an AI-powered tool that is a market leader!

Founded in 2020, they've gone from zero to hero pretty quickly (hence the FT award), and now they're at that sweet spot where you can still make a massive impact but without the "will we exist next month?" anxiety.

Their engineering team? Thoughtful, collaborative, actually gives a toss about quality code. They're building a platform that thousands of people use all day, every day – so no pressure, but also... proper impact.

The Role (The Actual Work Bit)

You'll be a proper full-stack engineer here. None of this "you'll exclusively work on one microservice in the corner" nonsense.

You'll be:

* Building features end-to-end (Python backend, Svelte/jQuery frontend)

* Owning your work from "hey, we should build this" through to "bloody hell, it actually works"

* Working with genuinely smart people who'll make you better at your job

* Actually talking to Product and QA like humans (revolutionary, we know)

* Having opinions on product direction that people will actually listen to

The tech stuff:

* Python (you should be solid here)

* Svelte/jQuery (or similar modern frontend – they're not religious about it)

* AWS, APIs, integrations, the usual suspects

* Bonus points for: browser extensions, LLMs, third-party API wizardry

The "You" Bit

They're not just hiring walking CVs. They want:

* Someone who gives a damn about quality and maintainability (future-you will thank present-you)

* A collaborator, not a lone wolf genius type

* Product thinking – understanding the "why" not just the "what"

* Clear communication, especially when things get messy

* Initiative without needing your hand held

* Startup/scale-up battle scars preferred

Basically: be good at engineering, be sound to work with, care about the product. That's it.

The Perks (Because Let's Be Honest, You Want to Know)

* 25 days holiday + bank holidays

* MacBook + whatever tech you need

* Proper flexible working (hybrid/remote, your choice)

* Private health, dental, vision (Aviva)

* Income protection

* Mental health support & EAP

* Compassionate leave (because life happens)

* Pension contributions (Royal London)

* Monthly socials (actually fun ones)

* Regular hackathons (the good kind)

Why This Could Be Great for You

* High-performing team without the toxic hustle culture

* Autonomy and ownership without being left to drown

* Real product impact with a user base that actually uses what you build

* Company that's growing fast but sensibly

* Engineering team with actual principles (they wrote them down and everything)

Sound Good?

If you're a solid engineer who wants breadth, impact, and to work with people who are the best at what they do, then apply
